This course is designed to enable students to get to know course faculty in a way that is impossible during standard, term-time classes. Take advantage of the opportunity. In response to positive feedback from previous course participants, we have given even greater emphasis to site visits this year. We will explore the largest water reuse project in the Southern Hemisphere; the Operational Control Center of São Paulo’s modern, busy, and too-small-for-existing-demand metro system; the Emergency Management Center for forecasting and monitoring of the city’s weather; the University of São Paulo’s Photovoltaic Systems Laboratory; the Cantareira system of five interconnected reservoirs that serve 9 million city inhabitants; and the first manufacturer of large wind turbines in South America.
